Dan Cesar
Senior Editor
BOND

LOS ANGELES, USA // St. Petersburg, FL // Dan is an award-winning Senior Editor at BOND whose love for film and storytelling led him on a crazy and unpredictable path to finding his dream job.

Dan’s first love was theatre, and after receiving a degree in acting from Ball State University he moved to LA to pursue his dream of becoming a movie star. After landing a job at William Morris Endeavor, he stumbled upon Adobe Premiere Pro on his computer and began teaching himself to edit. After making a few fan trailers for fun, his good friend and trailer editor, Jamie Grant, turned to him and said “ya know…you’d make a great trailer editor.” The rest is history.

BOND took a chance on Dan and brought him on as an Assistant Editor back in 2016. His Creative Director, Ben Andron, saw potential and quickly began giving Dan opportunities to cut. With the mentorship of editing royalty such as Kathleen Phillips and Patricio Hoter, Dan continued to hone his skills which led to successful campaigns including The Batman, Don’t Worry Darling, True Detective Season 4 and countless more. Dan is immeasurably grateful to Seth, Brian, Luke and Pat at BOND for their constant support and leadership.

Dan currently resides in St. Petersburg, FL with his incredible wife Christina and his vivacious 2 year old daughter, Isla. Their love and support are what makes his dream a reality.
